starting from scratch/help me put together this room pictures
Comments (6)The rug is nice and goes well with the art work which is your starting point. I would suggest to buy the furniture first (if you haven’t already) then buy the rug. Furniture is the most expensive investment in a room so it’s always good to plan for it first then go from there. This will help you in two ways.....1) Furniture layout in a room will help you decide on the correct size for a rug.... 2)If you are planning to add accent chairs in the mix then you are not limited with the style/color of the rug. Hope this helps....See MoreDesperately need help putting living room together!!!
Comments (72)Is there room for the piano on the opposite wall? If so... I think it would look better there. I’d then move over the dining room set with a rug to ground the dining space. Some don’t like a rug in the dining area but I personally would have one there. Not sure of the size, but you could try your current rug underneath it to see if you like it.

Comments (3)Just came across this room and I love it, seems to serve a similar purpose as ours! Wondering if I should be looking for mirrored coffee tables? Hmmm... not sure how comfortable those would be. Any thoughts?...See MorePutting Together a "TV/Guest Room/Office" Space
Comments (40)freedomplace1: The home in which you grew up sounds absolutely fabulous! Between its age (nothing like old homes!), and all of that wonderful space... ah, what I wouldn't give for all those rooms right now... haha! I think you may be right - I don't know what we'd keep in a trunk in this room, really - probably some blankets and things like that, certainly nothing the guests would find necessary, as those items would be put on top of the dresser, in plain view for them to use. I was trying to remember the other day, the first time I saw a trunk used as a coffee table. Trunks have, of course, been around for centuries... but I don't remember them used as living room pieces when I was growing up, so even that is a trend, isn't it? Unless I just haven't spent much time around stylish people! l pinkmountain: I know just the tables you mean, and those really do work quite well in small spaces. Your home sounds fabulous - between the handmade, and the inherited items. I tend to like those types of things best. And of course we would end up owning the heaviest pieces when we move around a lot, wouldn't we?! Our huge, heavy, Jacobean inherited dining set has traveled the country with us... and that Horton's piece was with us in two places before we ended up in our current home. Of course now that we aren't going anywhere for a while, it's in storage... ha, the irony! everdebz: Yes, I agree - visually, transitional may work best, and I think the reason that I was looking for a visually lighter piece, is because the navy tones in the room do make it appear heavier. ital mover: That one is fun, I like the round shape and the fact that it has wheels! The only bummer would be the fact that we wouldn't be able to use it as an ottoman. I know, I know, so much to demand of such a tiny space! I did order the throw, however, it seems perfectly color-matched to the room - will post an update when that comes. Thank you! :)...See MoreNatalie Jamieson
